Great local Italian spot. I’ve been here a couple of times now when in town for work and the food is consistently delicious and staff customer service is always terrific and they’re personable to chat with. I’ve brought coworkers and visited alone and always enjoyed myself. I’ll definitely be coming back.

When we go down to Laguna Woods and Italian food is in the menu, this is where we come. The restaurant is not big or fancy so if you’re looking for a quiet or romantic dinner this is probably not your first choice. But if you want good food and a friendly atmosphere, this is definitely the place to be.

What can I say besides amazing? From the cappuccino to the toasted bread, to the meal itself, everything was exactly as I had hoped for. This place seems so unassuming from outside, but this truly is, as everyone calls it, a hidden gem of the area. My new favorite Italian spot in Lake Forest, at least!

A little piece of the North End of Boston in the OC! One taste of the breaded artichoke or chicken picatta and you are transported straight back to the home of honest great Italian in the USA. There are plenty of fancy Italian places in Laguna/Newport and I always leave this place more tummy satisfied than any of them. If you want old school east coast Italian food come here.

Home-cooked fare is a good way to describe what this small Italian diner offers. They know how to correctly serve pasta, so al dente. It's a relief to have a place to go to enjoy home-cooked Italian food and happy to know that the owners have not decided to upgrade to a nice and huge restaurant. It's not that the place is nice, it's cozy but if you are more into what you get into your plate this is a must. Vinny, the owner's son, is very efficient and fun to chat with, very accommodating and provides honest recommendations. Fresh cannolis are available only on certain days, same with pizza so calling ahead of time will help. Five stars and sure will be coming back for more.

My fiancee and I were recommended here by some other local foodies. Very small and cozy, small outside seating section. Service: the service was pretty darn good. There only time service seemed to lack of you will, was when we needed/wanted more bread. My guess is you simply have to ask. Food: We ordered the sizzling feta and tomato. Super simple and delicious. Lots of herbs and cooked perfectly, it comes out sizzling on a platter. Chefs special lamb osso bucco style. This was extremely delicious and reminded me of my mom's home cooked roasts. Everything was spot on in this dish. Minestrone: the minestrone was full of vegetables and no beans, a pleasant surprise. Full of flavor and was perfect for a chilly evening. Salted caramel cake. My goodness this called is 10 stars itself. Not overly sweet, salty homemade caramel. Absolutely delicious. Overall I'd like to give five stars but the limited variants of pasta type a minimal wonder selection leaves just a touch to be desired. However even with this slight downside this is an amazing place to dine alone it with family.
